During the interview, McIntyre shared some exciting news about his recent encounter with supermodel Naomi Campbell and actors Jack and Scarlett, who were also guests on the show. McIntyre expressed his excitement about meeting Campbell and the “goggle box” experience they shared.
The conversation turned to McIntyre’s recent milestone: turning 40. McIntyre revealed that he and his wife both celebrated their 40th birthdays this year and shared anecdotes about the pervasive gratitude that comes with entering a new decade. He humorously recounted how people constantly thank him for inviting them to his birthday party and the overwhelming cycle of gratitude that follows.
As the interview continued, McIntyre humorously discussed his struggle with staying in shape. He credited his wife’s dedication to running and joked about how he tries to avoid it at all costs. McIntyre hilariously described an incident where he picked up his wife after a fun run thinking it would be a short distance, only to discover that the course was much longer than he anticipated.
The conversation shifted to McIntyre’s own talk show, “Michael McIntyre‘s Big Show.” He explained that the show is a combination of big acts, singers, and comedians, all wrapped up in an entertaining variety show format. McIntyre mentioned one segment called the “unexpected start” where unsuspecting individuals who believe they are at the theater for work suddenly find themselves performing on stage. He shared some of the amusing surprises they had planned for future episodes.
In addition to the unexpected start segment, McIntyre revealed another fun segment involving celebrities’ phones. Each week, he takes a celebrity’s phone and sends a text to all of their contacts, requesting hilarious responses. He shared some of the entertaining texts he received from Ronan Keating and Russell Crowe in response to his playful antics.
Towards the end of the interview, Carr cheekily asked McIntyre about the air time for his show, considering it was scheduled after a football match. McIntyre amusingly mentioned that he had to record numerous “program running late” announcements due to the unpredictable nature of football matches. He joked about staying on air until the early hours of the morning if the match went into extra time and penalty shootouts.
Overall, the interview was filled with laughter and wit, showcasing both Carr’s and McIntyre’s comedic talents. It was another entertaining episode of “Alan Carr: Chatty Man” that left viewers eagerly anticipating more from both the talk show host and the guests he brings on.
